Fabulous turnout to hear our very own Kate Walchester discuss travel writing with Michael Palin as part of the Smithdown Litfest. Your correspondent might have not picked the best spot for paparazzi images of our two celebrities, but is very much enjoying hearing tales of travel 🫣🥴

Lily Dunn's 'Into Being' is a milestone text in the art of life writing. I'm looking forward to chairing a discussion with her at @rilch-ljmu.bsky.social next month. It will be a great evening about how we raise raw personal material and make it powerfully universal.

On Friday I went to two fascinating events - the first a panel on the most current research in decolonisation and the second a book launch for J.P Maxwell and his new historical thriller based in Liverpool! @rilch-ljmu.bsky.social

Do we have the concept album cover? 🤔

Fabulous to hear @ljmuofficial.bsky.social’s Shanty Choir, led by our one and only Prof Gerry Smyth at the Art’s Bar last night 🙌 🎶 #SailorSong
